18 X ��?�� PAN HEAD SCREW, PHILLIPS MODIFIED TRUSS HEAD, SELF-DRILLING SCREWS, CR3+ ZINC PLATED
Engineered for efficiency and reliability, these self-drilling screws (also known as Tek screws) create their own threads and eliminate the need for pre-drilling in metal-to-metal applications. The modified truss head provides a large bearing surface for secure clamping, while the CR3+ Zinc Plating offers robust corrosion protection, making them ideal for construction and industrial MRO projects in the Los Angeles area.
- Self-Drilling Fastener (Tek Screw)
- SAE J78 Compliant
- CR3+ Zinc Plated per ASTM B633
- Metal-to-Metal Connections
These industrial-grade self-drilling screws are manufactured from high-quality carbon steel to meet the rigorous performance criteria of SAE J78 standards. The defining feature is the hardened drill point that can penetrate light to medium gauge steel without a pilot hole, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. The screw's threads are designed for optimal engagement and pull-out resistance in sheet metal. The entire fastener is coated with a CR3+ Zinc plating according to ASTM B633, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for various indoor and outdoor environments.
The Phillips modified truss head combines a low-profile design with a wide bearing surface, preventing pull-through and ensuring a secure connection. This versatile design makes them a top choice for fabricators, contractors, and MRO professionals. Commonly used for attaching metal lath, ductwork, electrical components, and framing, these screws provide a strong, reliable fastening solution for a wide range of commercial and industrial projects. Available for same-day pickup from our Los Angeles warehouse, they are a staple for any job requiring fast and effective metal fastening.
